Check out the best prediction and pick on DraftKings Sportsbook for Saturday’s Unrivaled matchup between the Lunar Owls and Mist.
There’s just one week left of the Unrivaled regular season, meaning each game moving forward means so much more to teams. Every win/loss can create monumental shifts in the playoff standings.
Six of the eight teams will make the playoffs, so there aren’t any eliminated squads just yet. That being said, the Lunar Owls have their back against the wall. They’re facing the Mist, who have clinched a playoff berth, tonight.
The Mist are 6.5-point favorites on DraftKings Sportsbook, while the Lunar Owls are +250 on the moneyline. The game total is set at 140.5 points.
Let’s dive into a preview, prediction and pick for tonight’s Lunar Owls vs. Mist matchup.
Lunar Owls vs. Mist prediction, preview
The Lunar Owls are in last place in Unrivaled with a 3-8 record heading into tonight’s matchup. The team doesn’t have a lack of talent, but it’s been shorthanded due to Napheesa Collier’s injury. She hasn’t played at all this season as she recovers for the 2026 WNBA campaign.
That leaves Marina Mabrey and Aaliyah Edwards to lead the team. Mabrey is averaging 24.9 points, 7.1 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game across 10 contests this year. Her most impressive performance was a 47-point outing against the Rose. Edwards has arguably been even better, averaging 22.4 points and 13.2 rebounds per game while shooting 58% from the field.
The production elsewhere, however, has been lacking. Skylar Diggins is averaging 16.3 points, 3.8 assists and 3.6 rebounds per game but is shooting 38.1% from the field and 19.4% from distance on 4.5 attempts per game. The rest of the roster is playing no more than 10.8 minutes per game each, so the impact is minimal.
The Mist have a more balanced effort, even with Breanna Stewart not always playing to her MVP levels. Stewart is averaging 19.7 points and 9.4 rebounds while shooting 48.5% from the field and 25% from deep on 3.6 attempts per game. Despite not being incredibly efficient from outside, the two-time WNBA MVP is making a major impact for an Unrivaled playoff team.
Allisha Gray is leading the team in scoring with 20 points per game. She’s been an excellent duo with Stewart this season, helping the team earn its 7-4 record. Arike Ogunbowale and Veronica Burton are also key contributors, while Alanna Smith and Li Yueru play less than 10 minutes per game each.
Lunar Owls vs. Mist pick, best bet
The Lunar Owls have a week remaining to earn a playoff spot, while the Mist are simply focused on playoff seeding. One could argue that the Lunar Owls have more to play for, but that likely won’t matter in this game.
The Mist are a better team and need to finish the season strong to earn favorable playoff matchups.
